Citation: Ellett v. Johnson, 372 S.E.2d 153, 236 Va. 190, 1988 Va. LEXIS 117, 5 Va. Law Rep. 622 (1988).
Holding
In this medical malpractice case, we decide whether a stipulation made in open court by defense counsel removed the issue of proximate cause from the case, thereby making it error for the trial court to grant certain defense instructions which listed proximate cause as an issue to be decided by the jury.
